first ?

ok im 1st

i dont want to see more sniper or od in my games but i cant stop it can i

hate opponent → od lol

HO HO HA HA

Riki is also rising ,

Great read, thanks.

Looks like it's time to dust off my OD game ... and astral prison some fools, those buffs to it were apparently better than they looked.

One question for the better players re sniper: why go first point in the passive? Seems like for early fight/runes, shrapnel is much better. I would guess better players delay the decision until they can determine whether there will be an early fight.

ETA: Riki and Huskar are terrifying right now.

Riki is strong but not OP
Huskar is basically the same shit for the last 3 patches,annoying if not handled well

^Riki has already rised

Great read as always!

It's no surprise that these heroes are on the way up for now. With a 21.5% pick rate on Drow Ranger and her big impact in the meta, ranged carries were always going to be picked more, winning more games and posing more of a difficult opposition to us all.

Lets wait until Drow aura is nerfed at the next patch and watch these heroes fade away in to irrelivance once again!

too late to say first

I disagree that sniper does not come online as fast because sniper can easily have decent crowd control slow enemy at lv 2-3 around 2:30+ which helps supports to initiate the enemy successfully at this early stage and his range allows him to fight safely through out the early game if sniper stays in right position furthermore sniper's ult is nearly half of lina's ult with insane range compared to lina's ult which allows sniper to secure the leaving enemies or start to deal more damage with his ult and with decent cd sniper can gank every 1-2 min without losing many farm.

froggo pls buf qop

dragon lance "It’s a very cost efficient early-game stat item" compared to S&Y or even skadi, no surprise on looking heroes like meepo building it..

About that Luna skill build, why not keep lunar blessing at level 1 and max moon glaive at 10? I'm not saying damage aura is bad, but level 4 glaive is so much better than level 3, and it also has some pushing power.

I can outplay OD with Sniper easily.

For a long time now I've been a proponent of the Agh's on Luna; I'd go as far as to say it's far superior to BKB and should be used as an alternative. Luna, as I see her, isn't a great frontliner due to her low health and range but if you're starting the fight off with an Agh's Eclipse, it provides massive burst and allows her to pick off after pick off.

It can, unlike her regular ult in lategame, completely turn the tide of a fight and it's unbelievably good for stopping a Rosh attempt. The massive range also allows it to easily pick off an enemy team's backline supports before they know what's hit them.

What it gives Luna in terms of stats and damage aren't great compared to other four-thousand gold items but I honestly think it's a superb pickup.

Luna aghs is just an alternative playstyle of her
You can have your usual outfarm and push to death luna or a caster luna which is relatively more scary in teamfights (well heroes don't stick around to get shred by the glaive, right) but tied to high cooldowns
I'd rather go for the first one since you'd pick luna as a flash farming pusher anyway

Luna agh is like jugg agh, i think, very situational, beware of eul holder, bkb(ghost staff for jug), or even force staff holder(luna might be able to chase up though)

Slightly better than jug after a sec of thought, the beam rate aint no joke

So does OD's Arcane Orb absolutely ruin Warlock golems?

Tl ; dr

Dragon Lance.

Shrapnel as first ability is not too smart as you will just push the lane which you don't want to do, I normally put 1 point in his passive first before I put a point in shrapnel, at lvl 3 you should be ready for a gank if your team has a stun or slow. I normally play him safe lane so I play a bit passively at first just to farm and after abou 7 mins I would push the lane and take towers. Oh and I never get a shadowblade on sniper if I'm looking for mobility I would go sange and yasha or blink.

Shadow blade is trash on sniper
Why the fuck would you initiate with a goddamn sniper who is supposed to stay behind and shoot people do death and get out as quickly as he can when threats are nearing

YES YES YES

@Egoist, jugg's agahs is garbage. (it still remain as one of the best agahs alchemist can give, its garbage cause this agahs doesn't bring more to his ultimate than a random dps item, and ofc agahs bring nothing in between ult; however the effect is indeed super strong)

Luna's agahs is situational. If you are pos1, it's utterly bad, but if you are pos2 or pos3, you can definitly go for it.

thanks

Sniper is too annoying of a hero

Дотабафф перевели !

there is nothin more annoying than a sniper being near his tower and harasing you from there and you can do nothing about it

My boner is rising
